Your Top Twenty!

General Name Discussion
1

Inspired by the name-popularity threads of @Veronica_Cadence and @Kipperbo1, this is a thread to share your top twenty names for boys and girls! I will be keeping track and posting the names that are the most popular. Hopefully, with the inclusion of twenty names, we’ll see names recur often— I grew curious after seeing the other threads because the names I thought I’d see were lower on the list than I had imagined.

Simply post your top twenty for boys and your top twenty for girls, first names only, and I’ll keep track of the ones that repeat. They don’t have to be in any order, but I do ask that you please not edit your posts without tagging me so I see the edit.

Thank you for participating!
